'G et rid of all the old yeast; then you’ll become new dough, just as you are already a people without sin’s leavening influence. You see, the Anointed One is our Passover lamb; He has been sacrificed for us.  So let the real feast begin. Get rid of all the old yeast, the yeast of hatred and evil. Throw it out so we can feast on the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.' 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 (VO Who among you can tolerate sin? It is the spirit in the Church that tolerates sin that is to be purged so that we may become that for which we are to be, unleavened. For Christ was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace fell upon Him. With His stripes we are healed. Amen. When we begin to think that we've got it all figured out, there's cause to worry. Pride raises her ugly head. Spiritual pride soon enough creeps in. False doctrines and their false teachers are not to be tolerated. That's when we say

'This is My command: be strong and courageous. Never be afraid or discouraged because I am your God, the Eternal One, and I will remain with you wherever you go.' Joshua 1:9 (VOICE) After Moses's death, God spoke directly to Joshua, that he was to lead his people, enter the promised land, divide it up and occupy it. He gave Joshua the exact same commission that He had given Moses. ' I have given You every place where the sole of your foot treads, just as I promised Moses.'

We believe that You are the same today and always. We believe You when you speak to the one and that You are no respecter of persons. You called us out of be leaders, to understand and to live by Your Law. You command strength and courage in us. When we are weak, You are strong. W

  'They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right.' 2 Timothy 3:3 (TPT)   ' I know all that you do, and I know that you are neither frozen in apathy nor fervent with passion. How I wish you were either one or the othe r! But because you are neither cold nor hot, but lukewarm, I am about to spit you from my mouth.   For you claim, “I’m rich and getting richer—I don’t need a thing.” Yet you are clueless that you’re miserable, poor, blind, barren, and naked!   So I counsel you to purchase gold perfected by fire, so that you can be truly rich. Purchase a white garment to cover and clothe your shameful Adam-nakedness. Purchase eye salve to be placed over your eyes so that you can truly see.' Revelations 3:15-18 (TPT) ' Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. Before that day comes the rebellion must occur and the “outlaw”—the destructive son—will b

Don't you hate it when parts wear out and conveniences don't work anymore? Same. As of Monday, the water purification system and ice maker on my refrigerator quit working. My well equipped for anything husband took on the task of fixer upper yesterday. He loves me. His first question was, 'Could it be the filter'? I had just changed it a few months back and the quality indicator light was still green. No it can't be that. So, he pulled the machine out away from the wall as to be able to get to the back of the monstrosity.Tools in hand he tested the water pressure, and checked the power to the unit. Many leaks and messes later he determined both were fine. So he moved to the front of the unit. After removing the filter, he tested the water and unfiltere

' Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.' Ps alm 119:105 (ES V) What a dark place the world would be without the Word of God.
